Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Bob Stash vs Tim Gramins Philosphy

Glock, glock, glock..... that is what my cat says when she is hacking up a hairball.

A cat is pretty smart. Good for him. He has you as his Entourage groupie and staff all rolled into one.😳😳😳😳😳😳

So, the word should be removed from the English language? What's the deal? What would it be replaced with?

I'm not a fan of the word in general context. A weapon is whatever I need one to be at the moment - a rock, a screwdriver, or a firearm. The rest of the time they're just a rock, a screwdriver, or a firearm.

The handgun I carry is carried for its capacity as a weapon. Same with the shotgun kept loaded in the bedroom. Has it become politically incorrect to say that, now?

I've been scouring Google for a discussion of any debate about not calling firearms weapons, but cannot find anything. It must not be a big controversy.

While we can call a FIREARM a WEAPON, a WEAPON is ANYTHING that can be used as a WEAPON . A screwdriver, needle nosed pliers, box cutters, large pliers, a ball bat, a club,, a car, a beer bottle, a poker, a slingshot, a bow and arrow, a nail gun, a fork and many other can be called a WEAPON but we dont. I went deer hunting in archery season with my WEAPON. I tightened a screw with my WEAPON. I went on a trip in my WEAPON. I dropped my WEAPON could you bring me another to eat my green beans with.

Drunk?

He probably could be drunk. Wanting to call a firearm a WEAPON could be a sign of it. I am sure Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone called their rifle and knife WEAPONS. I shot my deer with my WEAPON and butchered it with my WEAPON. I must sharpen my WEAPON before using it again and I must clean my WEAPON before loading it again.

So what?? Why the big deal?

Actually I was asking you doofus...

No, you couldnt be asking about me. I dont drink. I used to but still didnt call a firearm a WEAPON. Maybe a GOOD psychiatrist could help someone who has a propensity for the word WEAPON.
I Cant picture saying to my wife, honey I am going to the WEAPON range to fire my WEAPON after I DEPLOY it. Then telling her after I get home, honey I am now going to clean my WEAPON since I DEPLOYED it at the range and fired it making contact with the target.

I carry a Benchmade tactical WEAPON in my pocket.
I carry a ball point WEAPON in my pocket.

Do you have a position on "clip" vs. "magazine"?

I've got to retract what I said about 5.56 and my nephew. Just spoke to him. Apparently, he shot the guy (wanted for murder in another state) center mass five times. He went down, then sat up again trying to retrieve his handgun off the ground and get back into the fight, ignoring commands to stay down. It took three more, to the chest and head, of 55 grain Federal HP to put him down for good. The guy was high, though, which must be the explanation.

Jeeze! This is a real crusade for you, huh?

I most certainly do. My semi auto HANDGUNS have MAGAZINES and my Benchmade Tactical WEAPON has a CLIP.
In my MAGAZINES I load CARTRIDGES not BULLETS.

The ignorant don't know.

The informed know.

The wise.....they know.

But, don't have to show!

I was hoping glockdoofus would be funny instead of obnoxious.

That is what I keep trying to tell you. Only the dense doesnt understand.

The informed shares.
The informed know they are wise.
The wise show they are informed.

Some think that being odiuos is not obnoxious but it is. But the odious berates the obnoxious when both are rowing the same boat.
